Officially known as Amorphophallus Bulbifer, this plant is native to the monsoonal forests of northern and eastern India and Nepal. It thrives in a warm temperate climate.
Comprised of a single multi -branched leaf carried on a dark, marbled stalk, the plant's foliage will reach three feet in 6-inch pots. In winter, the leaf dies and the plant remains dormant in a round underground tuber.
With the arrival of warmer weather it puts out a peach colored flower stalk.
Cultivation
Amorphophallus bulbifer does well in a warm temperate climate in a protected spot under filtered light. It can also be successfully grown in a pot.
